The APW7066 has two synchronous buck PWM controllers and one linear controller with high precision internal references voltage to offer accurate outputs. The PWM controllers are designed to drive two N-channel MOSFETs in synchronous buck topology, and the linear controller drives an external N-channel MOSFET. The device requires 12V and 5V power supplies, if the 5V supply is not available, VCC12 can offer an optional shunt regulator 5.8V for 5V supply.
All outputs have independent soft-start and enable functions by SS/EN pins to control. Connect a capacitor from each SS/EN pin to the ground for setting the soft-start time, and pulling the SS/EN pin below 1V to disable regulator. Pull the SS2/EN2 to VCC, enter the DDR mode, the SS1/EN1 controls both VOUT1 and VOUT2, and allows VOUT2 to track VOUT1. It also offers the phase shift function by REFOUT pin to select the phase shift between VOUT1 and VOUT2 in DDR mode or Independent mode. When all SS/EN pins exceed 3.3V and no faults are detected, the PGOOD pin goes high to indicate the regulators are ready. If any of the SS/EN pins goes below 3.2V or any of the outputs has a fault condition, the PGOOD pin will be pulled low.
The internal oscillator is nominally 300kHz (keep the FS/SYNC pin open or short to GND), and it offers the programmable frequency function from 70kHz to 800kHz; connecting a resistor from FS/SYNC to VCC to decrease the frequency, conversely, connect a resistor from FS/SYNC to GND to increase the frequency.The IC also provides the synchronous frequency function. Connect the LGATE signal of another converter to FS/SYNC pin; forcing the switching frequency to follow the external clock. The possible synchronous frequency is from 150kHz to 800kHz. There is no Rds(on) sensing or under-voltage sensing on APW7066. However, it provides a simple short-circuit protection by monitoring the COMP1 and COMP2 for over-voltage. When any of two pins exceeds their trip point and the condition persists for 1-2 internal clock cycle (3-6us at 300kHz), then it will shut down all regulators.
